I’m Sarah.

After graduating college, I worked as a TV news reporter at an NBC affiliate outside of Chicago. I then retired from that life to be a stay at home mom to my three little ones. While at home I was able to rekindle my love for decorating and crafts. A blog seemed like the perfect place to share those ideas. There is inspiration everywhere, I hope you find some here.

Sep 12 striped painted tee

I love making these painted t-shirts! I made one here and here. This particular one was made using craft paint. My husband calls it the "Winthrop Chronicles" shirt, ok, ok I see the resemblance! :) Maybe I should add "The Winthrop Chronicles.com" on there for some free advertising! I like how it turned out and it was pretty easy.

I went for the ombre look for this shirt so I just picked three similar colors of craft paint. I put some freezer paper inside the shirt and then taped out some stripes. Then painted away. Let it dry. And done!

My boys also decorated t-shirts with me. Their shirts turned in to finger/hand/arm painting. But they had fun with it.
